Future of BSA/PC-BSA/SBSA checklist page – Marcin Juszkiewicz
During last years Arm released some specifications in an effort to help organise standardise their market. We got Server Base System Architecture (SBSA ), then Base System Architecture (BSA ) and finally PC Base System Architecture (PC -BSA ) one. Both SBSA and PC -BSA extend BSA (SBSA 7.0 was rebased on top of BSA ).
Each of mentioned specifications comes with a compliance checklist referencing document sections such as B_PE_11 which states:
To visualize these checklists I created the Arm BSA /PC -BSA /SBSA checklist page where this data is presented as a table. How it is generated will be explained below.
Following the checklist manually is a difficult task so Arm released Architecture Compliance Suites (ACS in short) for BSA and SBSA specifications which run tests and tell whether your hardware is compliant. PC -BSA so far does not have own ACS yet.
NOTE : I ran compliance suites only on UEFI +ACPI systems so do not know how BSA ACS behaves on DeviceTree based ones.
